     I had to dig into stamp supplies and tools I hadn’t used for some time to create a card for the current Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Embossing. I need a Wedding card for a dear friend in August and wanted to make her an elegant vintage card. So, I dug out one of my favorite wood-mount rubber stamps from PSX named “Rose Wreath” and matching rose spray wood-mount stamps (also PSX.) Pink mulberry paper and glitter-gold EP will provide the needed elegance. (I was glad I could find my heat gun and that the EP still “worked” as it was a bit clumpy!) Because I know that coloring images made with glittery EP can chew up markers, I opted for my  Tombow Markers which I’ve had for over 20 years, and my trusty white gel pen.  I wanted to add extra sparkle, so used wiped my gold embossing pad along the cut edge of the mulberry paper, dipped it into the EP, shaking off excess, and heating the EP edge. After coloring the images, I added some sheer ribbon, and computer-generated sentiments to finish the card.

Supplies: 

·   Wood Mount Stamps from PSX (Company no longer in business)

·   Colored with Tombow markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Sentiments- Computer Generated

·   Mulberry paper, Embossing ink and powder, heat gun, scraps of ribbon and other other items from my stash.
